Are you looking for work in a warehouse, delivery or logistics environment? Phakisa Holdings is offering an opportunity for someone who can help drivers deliver products to customers, load and offload goods, and assist with general warehouse duties. Previous experience in logistics, warehousing or FMCG will be an advantage, but applicants should also have good communication skills and be able to work well with others.
This position may suit someone who enjoys physical work and wants to gain more experience in the supply chain and delivery industry. If you meet the minimum requirements, read the job details below and prepare your application.
Here are the important details you need to know before applying.
Applicants should note that this is a temporary position, meaning the employment is not advertised as permanent. The length of the contract has not been provided.
The main purpose of this job is to help drivers transport and deliver products safely to customers, shops and other delivery locations.
The successful candidate will assist with loading goods onto delivery vehicles, checking products against delivery documents, offloading items at delivery points and making sure that the correct products reach the correct customers.
The job also includes warehouse duties such as sorting stock, packing products, preparing orders and keeping storage areas clean.
Because the position involves handling consumer goods, employees must take care to prevent damage, breakages and losses. They must also report any missing, damaged or incorrect items to the driver or supervisor.
A person in this role must be reliable, physically fit enough to perform the required duties and willing to follow company procedures.
The Van Assistant / General Worker will perform several duties related to deliveries, stock handling and warehouse operations.
One of the main responsibilities is helping the driver load and offload products during deliveries.
Duties may include:
Applicants should be prepared for physical work, as loading and offloading may involve lifting and carrying products throughout the working day.
The successful candidate will help the driver deliver products to the correct customers and locations.
Responsibilities include checking goods against delivery notes, invoices, picking slips and customer orders. These documents help confirm which products must be delivered and in what quantities.
The Van Assistant may also need to:
Accuracy is important because delivering the wrong products or incorrect quantities can cause problems for customers and the company.
In addition to delivery work, the employee may be required to help in the warehouse.
These duties can include receiving incoming stock, checking deliveries, moving products and arranging items in the correct storage areas.
Other warehouse responsibilities include:
Applicants should be willing to perform different tasks depending on the company’s daily operational needs.
FMCG stands for fast-moving consumer goods. These are everyday products that people buy regularly, such as food, beverages, household cleaning products and other consumer items.
The Van Assistant / General Worker must handle these products according to the company’s procedures.
This includes following the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) principle where applicable. FIFO means that older stock is used or dispatched before newer stock, helping to prevent products from remaining in storage for too long.
The employee must also pay attention to product condition and report goods that are damaged, expired, leaking or contaminated.
Where perishable products are involved, the worker must follow the required temperature and hygiene standards to help keep products safe and in good condition.
Before applying, make sure you understand the minimum requirements listed in the advertisement.
Applicants must have:
Previous experience as a Van Assistant, General Worker, Warehouse Worker or in logistics and FMCG will be an advantage.
Although previous experience is beneficial, applicants should not claim experience they do not have. If you have worked with deliveries, stock control, loading and offloading, packing or warehouse operations, include those duties in your CV.
Candidates should also be ready to follow instructions, handle products carefully and report problems when they notice them.
The advertised rate for the Van Assistant / General Worker position is R50.47 per hour.
Your total earnings will depend on the number of paid hours you work. For example, if you work eight paid hours in a day, your earnings would be calculated as follows:
This is an example based on eight paid hours, not a confirmed daily or monthly salary. Actual earnings will depend on your working hours and the terms of employment.
The advertisement does not state the exact working schedule, overtime arrangements or contract duration. Applicants should confirm these details with Phakisa Holdings during recruitment.
If you meet the requirements and are interested in the position, prepare your updated CV and make sure your contact details are correct.

However, applicants should remember that the job involves physical duties, careful product handling and teamwork. You may also need to move between the warehouse and different delivery locations as part of your daily work.
